Yeah, was busy until now, this weekend will be pushed back a day (Practice in a couple of hours, Qualifying tomorrow, Race on Monday).

Sounds good, EL!

I meant to finally write something today but I was super uninspired. Excuse my inactivity

It seems things miiiiight start pointing upwards for Novikov. I've got a few RP changes in the team to write down because of it.

I think the scorinator just hates Novikov (and Klianiota especially) for some reason.

Most of the resims I've run for my own amusement have Klianiota still pointless.

I hope your writing comes along well, Aboveland. Writer's block is no fun. There's still time for drivers to make one last push. Jenna just had her run early, but she has no huge lead. VMR just had the best start. It makes a fun story though. But lots of people are still in it. The score is actually wayyy close. It's too bad Jack Kelly stepped out. A win during one of these missed weeks might have given him the lead, and his team.

I would write some more for Valen right now but apparently I have no inspiration. Well, good luck to everyone else, I suppose!

I must say that other than working with Esmerel one of the most enjoyable things over the course of this season has been working little, obscure references to the previous WGPC season into my writing. Not sure why; it just happens to be so!

by **Vangaziland** » Fri Sep 22, 2017 10:14 pm

References are the best. It's building the universe... That's when stories write themselves. I've worked in references from like 4 racing series... But that ties everything together from random one of stories into the car company/race team... That's my whole point of writing VMR. Any RP, really.

Your story arc and team build is definitely cool to read about, Nexus!

Thank you; yours too! There are so many good teams and drivers that are going to be in WGPC 16 and VMR and Jessica Franssen are certainly two of them. I feel that you're better at creating really human, non-racing moments between your characters than me; back in the WGPC I had to rely on conversations with other users' (mostly Redvale's, for obvious reasons) characters for the same. It's a skill that I hope to develop!

by **Vangaziland** » Sat Sep 23, 2017 7:06 am

Thanks! Yeah, I just write what feels like it flows... I've written non-race RPs for awhile, so I build the story around that... With a few semi-articles thrown in. I'd be glad to get cross stories in with others. I enjoy RPing most when there's some side plot..

Just announcing that Togonistan's Manny Epula will be taking over Lera Kozel's seat for the remaining four races, as Sha Mobutia has CTEd. RP post to come later today.

Letting everyone know that I'll be away tomorrow and a fair amount of the next day as well; I intend to have a post up soon after I return, though!

Well, change of plans!

by **Aboveland** » Mon Oct 02, 2017 4:34 pm

Sorry I've'nt (hehe) posted anything in the RP for a while now, but to be honest I lost motivation to continue the RP for the team. It seems my best RP fit is to just RP one driver at a time. Sorry to TIS, sorry to V&T, but yeah. If I need to (upon request or if I plan anything major) I'll post.

Also, this casts uncertainty into the future of Project AGP. Who knows what'll be of that?

I am alive.

Arrrgh. Forgot to post again. I'll try to get back into it.

Enjoying reading the RPs at the end of the inaugural WGP2 season as an observer, but a quick note on terminology - I've noticed a few posts make reference to 'WDC' or 'world championship'. The WGPC crowns a world Grand Prix champion (driver/constructor). By definition, the WGP2 wouldn't, as a second-tier Grand Prix championship. The same way GP2 (or the now-defunct Formula 2) doesn't crown a "world champion" in real life.

Oh my.

EVERY SINGLE PLAN I'VE HAD ALL YEAR HAS BITTEN ME IN THE ASS

GAH

Luna is now as Ryker was in Audioslavia. Do not abandon hope yet, my friend.

That last article was so well written, EL. I hope everyone's enjoyed the season. I just moved a puppet to the Western Isles, as they are having open-wheeled racing. It's interregional though, if anyone else wanted in. I'm not sure how they're doing it, but I'll put my GT2 drivers in... :lol:

P.S. Let the record show I was correct in predicting a close final standings... It's still all up for grabs...

This season has been enjoyable for me, at least, even after everything regarding scorination - I suppose that it's nice sometimes not to have to worry about the competition and just let the story flow! After the race I'll probably write an evaluation of my roleplaying over both this season and the last WGPC season, since I never got round to the one I had planned when the latter finished.

(Also, Vangaziland, would you mind replying to the post about Timothy Guard's plan being outlined at the Royal Olympia Hotel? Jessica Franssen did say that she would be there...)

Thank you! I will respond but I'd like to check that neither Audioslavia nor Aboveland, whose characters I invited along to the meeting (Esmerel seems to be taking a bit of time off all of this), don't want to post anything first.
